Black people get ticketed more because a police officer is more likely to see less of them and subconsciously that leads to more tickets. Reducing that does not cause them to give more tickets overall, unless there is a quota going on or the reduction comes from a shift to viewing white people as criminal. I'm allowed to recognize that disparity and feel that it's wrong and feel guilty for having been let loose because there's an expectation that I'm not "trouble" because of the way I look. And that's fine, but that guilt should be driven towards bringing others up, not denouncing yourself and feeling like you have wronged somebody. Enjoy that you have something that everyone should have, and ensure that you are not abusing that privilege by claiming that black people are just inherently more criminal and that's why you get off, and by trying to extend that great good to everyone in society. You shouldn't feel guilty about this, you should feel enraged these basic rights of being treated by a human being based on your clothes, actions, etc, rather than race, do not belong to everyone. The real way is not speaking. However, I would guess cops would give you a speeding ticket should they see you lying on radar, and I would guess cops would have more chance if you are friendly and respectful with them. And I'm not the sort of person who fucks off. Sorry. The plauge is a bit harder to get rid of than that. You can always retreat under your blanket and mute me though. That's sure to promote thoughtful discussion!At no point did I ever, anywhere, say that white people should be prosecuted against more. But you know what? If a ton of black people repeatedly get ticketed for going 80mph in a 60 and a ton of white people repeatedly get off with warnings, i don't think the "equal" solution is suddenly letting everyone get away with speeding.
Fuck off. I feel guilty for having gotten away with crimes I know black people wouldn't get away with.
It's stupid, by the way, if you think telling the cops the absolute truth is the way to handle them.
Sorry buddy, I'm not here to have thoughtful discussions with everyone, just like if I were on okcupid I wouldn't be on it with the purpose of dating everyone. You and I ain't compatible - I'm under no obligation to speak to you or let you speak to me when I can control it. So yes, I will mute you, and gladly. Suck a bag of dicks and kick rocks.
Thoughtful discussion does not occur when you speak only to approved audiences. The only people you can't have real discussion with are trolls that only look to make others angry. Just as you are under no obligation to speak to me, I am under no obligation to keep silent for your sake. Goes both ways. Have a nice day.
